After removal of the first primary partition, you might notice, that the names of the remaining partitions didn't
|
||
change. ˋ/dev/sda2ˋ stays ˋ/dev/sda2ˋ. To renumber the partition, use ˋfdiskˋ and create a new primary partition no. 1
|
||
which is located behind ˋsda2ˋ. You might want to delete your swap partition, create a new one in partition slot no. 1.
|
||
|
||
Now enter the expert menu of fdisk and type <kbd>f</kbd> to fix the partition table. The partitions will be renumbered
|
||
according to their position on disk. After that delete the temporary partition and re-create your swap. Don't forget to
|
||
write the new partition table to disk.
|
||
|
||
Afterwards, update your ˋ/boot/grub/menu.lstˋ, maybe ˋ/etc/fstabˋ and do a ˋgrub-installˋ.
